Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

The reason was the boy in front of him, whose expression was half-smile, and whose eyes seemed to say that he had seen through everything.

Tokitsu Junya, a high school detective representing the North.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, a high school detective representing the South.

Sera Masumi, a high school detective representing the Kanto region.

And, representing the relationship, is high school detective Heiji Hattori.

These are the four participants in this Detective Koshien.

"Hey, why are you here? Are you saying you're already a consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department?" Hattori Heiji asked, squinting at Lin Xiaofeng sitting next to Sera Masumi.

"I'm just here as Makoto's assistant," Lin Xiaofeng replied, shrugging. "So that's why you suddenly came to Tokyo. You're here for the competition."

"I never expected you to get involved as an assistant, it's practically cheating." Hattori Heiji, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly became insecure.

"Sera-neechan, are you the representative of Kanto this time?" Conan asked Sera Masumi with a sweet smile.

She already knew that the kid in front of her was Sera Masumi, whom she had met once when she was a child and who was even admired by her as the 'disciple of Sherlock Holmes'. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but shudder, and then sighed as she looked at him with a complicated expression.

Sigh, how did a perfectly good high school detective turn into this shameless person?

"Isn't that right?" Conan tilted his head and asked.

"Yes," Masumi replied, "but could you please not call me 'older sister'?"

Conan's expression began to stiffen.

Am I being... rejected?

A dilapidated hotel on a deserted island.

Upon seeing the actual object, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at Conan again.

Without a doubt, given that it's an uninhabited island with such dilapidated buildings, and with this 'director' whose acting skills are terrible, it's hard to imagine that nothing bad would happen.

Moreover, Lin Xiaofeng had already recalled the cause and outcome of this incident.

As for what happened... I really can't remember.

Upon entering the hotel, Tsuchio Hiroki immediately changed his dejected attitude from the ship and looked at everyone with great enthusiasm.

"Now that all the high school detectives from all directions are here, let's start with introductions!"

"I don't care," Nanatsuki Koshimizu replied with a relaxed expression, her hands in her shirt pockets.

"Is that all? I didn't see any TV cameras nearby," Tokitsu Junya said with a few cold laughs.

"Speaking of which, why didn't we see a single staff member from the TV station?" Hattori Heiji complained, looking quite dissatisfied.

“Ah, well…” Tsuchio Hiroki hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, “The TV crew and the main actors involved in the filming are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. The main reason for bringing everyone here now is to let you familiarize yourselves with the process first.”

"Of course, the same process will be followed tomorrow in front of the cameras."

"Oh... well then, let's start with me." Koshimizu Nanatsuki took off her headphones, a smile appearing on her face. "My name is Koshimizu Nanatsuki, a third-year high school student!"

"Born in Fukuoka, I'd say I'm a representative of high school detectives from the south."

"I'm still a novice, and I've only solved about a hundred cases so far, so I'd appreciate it if you all would be lenient with me in the future."

With the prototype of Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Tokitsu Junya followed the process.

"I am Tokitsu Junya. Although I was born in Tokyo, I grew up in Hokkaido, which is probably why I became a representative of the North." Tokitsu Junya's cold smile softened a lot. "I have handled about three hundred cases, of which about two hundred and fifty people were arrested and prosecuted. There were also cases where people escaped or committed suicide before being arrested."

"I am Hattori Heiji, and I am a detective with a certain reputation in the Kansai region."

"The number of cases solved is..." Hattori Heiji even started counting on his fingers, "Oh dear, it's over a thousand cases. There are just too many books to count."

He actually has the nerve to laugh!

Conan, who was standing next to him, glared at him with dead fish eyes.

The other two stared at Hattori Heiji with a mixture of belief and skepticism.

"Huh? Is it my turn?" Sera Masumi pointed to herself somewhat awkwardly. "Ah... since coming to Japan, I haven't solved that many cases. After all, most of them were solved by 497 beforehand, plus there's 'Sleeping Kogoro Mouri,' so in the end, I've solved less than a hundred cases in Japan."

"However, if we add the cases I solved when I was in the UK, it would be around two hundred cases."

"Oh, by the way, do the assistants need to introduce themselves as well?" Sera Masumi asked Tsuchio Hiroki.

"Huh? We don't need that, do we?" Hiroki Tsuchio paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiaofeng and Conan before replying.

"What does it matter? It's just a rehearsal today anyway, so let's just consider it a chance to get to know each other first," said Koshimizu Nanatsuki with a grin.

"Well, since you've said that..." Tsuchio Hiroki hesitated for a moment after hearing Koshimizu Nanatsuki's words before nodding and looking at Lin Xiaofeng and Conan.

"Brother Lin Xiaofeng, you go first." Conan obediently took half a step back.

"Lin Xiaofeng, a first-year student at Dongdu University, is not a detective, but he is very confident in his observation skills." When Lin Xiaofeng said the last sentence, his gaze was fixed on Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

The girl felt a chill run down her spine from his stare.

"Huh? What? You two haven't heard of him?" Hattori Heiji suddenly jumped in to cause trouble. "Well, your relationship with the police isn't very good, is it?"

"Oh? What connection does this senior have with the police?" Tokitsu Junya asked Hattori Heiji calmly.

"Fugitive nemesis, former detective, now consultant. That's the title the Metropolitan Police Department gave him. Quite a few people have been arrested by his name and fallen victim to Brother Feng's schemes."

"...Even if you say that, not having heard of it is not having heard of it." Tokitsu Junya shrugged and replied with a bored expression.

"Tsk." Hattori Heiji looked away.

"Um, speaking of which, aren't you going to take us to our rooms quickly? I'm getting tired of standing here," Koshimizu Nanatsuki suddenly asked.

“Then, I’m a little hungry and want to have dinner,” Tokizu Junya added from the side.

“Okay, let’s go check the room numbers first. As for dinner, Mr. Kotani, the host, is preparing it in the kitchen right now. He’ll let everyone know when he’s done,” Hiroo Tsuchio replied, looking towards the kitchen.

You can vaguely see a figure holding a soup spoon through the window.

"Oh, right, I also wanted to confirm what outfits you'll be wearing for tomorrow's recording. I'll call you over dinner to let you know. I hope everyone can dress up like detectives at Koshien Stadium."

"Ah, it's fine if the assistants stay as they are, after all, you're not the main characters."

This guy added one last thing.

583. I've found you!

"Isn't there a serious problem?"

After arriving in the room, Sera Masumi looked at Lin Xiaofeng and asked.

"Yes, there's a big problem." Lin Xiaofeng nodded in reply. "Although I'm trying my best to play the part, there are still too many flaws."

"Hiroyuki Tsuchio isn't a director, not even a third-rate actor. He gives off the impression of always doing petty theft or something," Lin Xiaofeng said, touching his earlobe. "And Renzo Kotani is probably working as a butler in some household."

"As a waitress, her aura is a bit too much."

"Then, the key point is Koshimizu Nanatsuki."

Lin Xiaofeng turned to look at Shi Liang Zhenchun.

"Nanatsuki? What happened to her?" Masumi paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiaofeng in astonishment and asked.

"I won't tell you the answer; find it with your own eyes," Lin Xiaofeng said, patting Zhen Chun on the shoulder as he approached her.

"Hey bro, it's almost time. You should go out for a bit. I need to change into my school uniform." Zhen Chun pushed Lin Xiaofeng out of the room.

"Is it really necessary to be so serious?" Lin Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly, then leaned against the wall and looked towards the other rooms.

For example, the room next door, by Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

Before long, Lin Xiaofeng saw a group of people walking towards him from another direction.

Leading the group was Renzo Koya, followed by Heiji Hattori, Junya Tokitsu, and Conan.

Lin Xiaofeng knocked on the door.

"Shin-chan, hurry up, they're here."

"Almost done! Almost done!" came a slightly panicked voice from inside.

"Dinner is ready. I'm here to call everyone to the dining room," Renzo Koya explained after standing in front of Lin Xiaofeng.

"Yes, we already know. Masumi is still changing inside. Can we wait a little while?" Lin Xiaofeng asked Koya Renzo.

"of course."

After pausing at the door for about ten seconds, the door opened.

Wearing a school uniform, Zhen Chun stood at the door, awkwardly smiling at everyone.

"Oh?" Lin Xiaofeng looked at Zhenchun with a surprised expression.

To be honest, based on Lin Xiaofeng's impression of Zhen Chun, she was more suited to wearing jeans than a skirt.

But now, with a little dressing up, Masumi's school uniform skirt looks rather cute.

"Hehe, I learned it from Mai-nee and Narumi-nii." Masumi stuck out her tongue shyly and explained to Lin Xiaofeng.

Oh, you learned from those two people? Then there's no problem.

Next up is Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

Perhaps because Masumi bought her some time, Koshimizu Nanatsuki had already finished tidying up when the door opened.

They were both wearing school uniforms.

“Next up is Tsuchio, the ‘director’.” Hattori Heiji emphasized the word ‘director’.

Renzo Koya knocked on the door but received no response.

"What's going on? Could she be asleep?" Hattori Heiji leaned closer and reached out to touch the doorknob.

"Wait a minute!" Zhenchun suddenly grabbed his wrist. "Look at what's on the doorknob."

"Huh? On the doorknob?" Hattori Heiji looked down and his expression changed instantly. "It's blood!"

I gripped the doorknob, turned it a few times, and then pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge.

"Was it locked from the inside?!" Conan's expression turned serious.

"Where is the spare key to this room?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked Kotani Renzo.

“There is no key.” Renzo Koya shook his head nervously. “Like your rooms, it can only be locked from inside the room.”

"Hmm? If it's like my mother's room, it should have a good window, right?" Tokitsu Junya reminded him calmly.

"Then let's..."

Before Koshimizu Nanatsuki could finish speaking, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly opened the door.

"Huh? Wasn't the door locked?" Hattori Heiji asked Lin Xiaofeng with a surprised look.

He was just about to push Lin Xiaofeng aside and force the door open.

Lin Xiaofeng simply smiled without saying a word.

What could he say?

Do I have to say that I just used a wind sprite to pry open the door bolt from the inside?

"This is not the time to talk about this!" Conan pushed Heiji Hattori aside and rushed into the room.

Tsuchio Hiroki was bound tightly with ropes, standing motionless with his back to the door.

"Mr. Tsuchio!" Conan and Heiji Hattori shouted loudly as they leaned close to his head.

"Stop shouting." Lin Xiaofeng covered his ears and looked at the two of them. "He's fine, he's just asleep. If you listen carefully, you can hear his breathing."

The two of them immediately covered their mouths and listened carefully.

Sure enough, steady breathing then came from Tsuchio Hiroki's nostrils.

"You scared me to death." Hattori Heiji immediately collapsed onto the floor and began to help Tsuchio Hiroki untie the ropes binding him.

Tokitsu Junya went to the window and observed for a few moments before raising his eyebrows.

"Ugh—" Tsuchio Hiroki had just woken up at that moment.

"Hey, what's going on?" Hattori Heiji asked Tsuchio Hiroki with dissatisfaction.

"What happened?" Conan pressed.

"Ah? Oh, it's like this, someone knocked on the door, I opened it but didn't see anyone. Just as I was thinking of going back to my room, someone suddenly covered my mouth and nose with anesthesia from behind... and then I don't know anything anymore."

Lin Xiaofeng silently turned his gaze to Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
